Remind me not to travel with JAX. I was in Rome for a couple of weeks in July, during killingly hot weather, and remarkably enough, not a single vehicle burst into flames. Good thing, too; in Rome's sardine-packed sardine-packed in july? Definitively you must see in winter! :-) traffic, the flames would have spread to dozens or hundreds of micro-cars and scooters. ....and noone have the exitguisher! believe me! :-) The mandatory "safety" pack includes: spare weel, spare bulbs and fuses, warning triangle, one reflective jacket to be put on at night in case of on the road repairs. No first aid kit nor fire extinguisher This at least in Italy, there are still differences between european countries. Given the presence in the USA of Subaru, Hyundai, etc., and the departure of Peugeot and other labels, I suspect Fiat's absence from US car showrooms may have more to do with the cost of marketing and of meeting highway safety and pollution control measures than the FTC's opinion of the vehicle. Fiat have one agreement with GM. This can mean that there is also one "no iterference" agreement about marketing... The safety and pollution rules are really stringent also in europe now, leaded gas is no longer sold, car are safety and pollution checked every two year and car aged 10 year or more are so stringently checked that is more convenient to destroy it in place of paying a lot of expensive repairs.

ALL auto's in Italy are **required** to carry fire extinguishers.
one of the points the US FTC made in its claim that Fiats were not automobile and thus could not be sold -- to this day -- in the USA as automobiles is the truely alarming frequency with whic their junk could fire, even waiting at a stop light. you are welcome to check the court records if you wish.

No fire extinguisher is required on new cars anywhere in the EEC. |

check it out, dum-dum. every last car in Italy is required to carry a fire
extinguisher. Fiat owners feel that is reasonable. From: (Silverton 31') Date: 9/2/2004 12:20 PM Eastern Daylight Time Message-id: LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!

JAX-
I've done a Google search for the word sets: Fiat FTC suitability and Fiat "fire extinguisher" and not found anything more than racers who like (rightly) fire extinguishers. Can you give us a little help. JAXAshby wrote: check it out, dum-dum. every last car in Italy is required to carry a fire extinguisher. Fiat owners feel that is reasonable.

Can you give us a little help. Don't feed the trolls please! You can search also all the trial against Fiat... This guy live in a different universe... or is a troll. Only to return to one OT that is more close to the original subject: The italian newspaper this morning talk about a "battle" between Ducati and Piaggio to control Aprilia. Piaggio is controlled by Fiat, and Aprilia was supposed to be the Intermediate controller between Fiat and Ducati... Paolo |
